And the control schemes drag it back down into the quagmire of unplayable mess despite all that work. An excellent example of the broader point about development focus.

I've never noticed this, but I also play on the PC.
The only control stuff I don't like is fabricating arrows, notching ammo, cooking food, etc. But that's not clunky, it's just time consuming. It's also optional, so I just don't bother.

The clunky controls of rockstar games is intentional! They think it's "more immersive" for your character to just not do what you want it to do.
Saints Row 4 is better than GTA 5, change my mind.

Fundamentally different games, Saints Row 4 is silly sci-fi. I personally enjoyed it more.
I felt the actual game flowed better, GTA is all about playing in a sandbox and seeing all the various things you can do.
Saints Row is more of a straight up action game.

At some point they reacted to the "murder simulator" hysteria by pivoting from action games to sims.

I played on PC. Mouse and keyboard. The controls were excellent.

We're just not going to agree on that. I don't think it's a good game and a lot of it comes down to controls, but it isn't just that.
